I do understand that by changing power amps to drive Duos you got different sound. However, I do not think that it is a right direction to look at the things. If you want more “depth” from Duos then you are taking about the lower midrange and upper/mid bass. For sure using different amps you will get a bit more or a bit less of it and perhaps a bit different character of “it” but in my estimation it would be no different than trying to save gas by improving aerodynamics on 12-cylinders cargo car.

The point that I am trying to make is that Duo has no channel that is able to produce depth that you are talking about. If you would be trying to add better quietly of lower midrange and upper/mid bass by applying special acid to wire’s contacts then I would say that it was fine as it will take 3 minutes. However, you are thinking about committing your to built a whole amplifier to address this Duo deficiency. Considering the amount of time, money and efforts you are willing to invest into the project and knowing the result you will get in one or another way I would discourage you to build/buy Milq or any other amplifier. I would advise you to add an extra upperbass channel to your Duo – that will be a move in a more fruitfully direction in my view.
